Trading with Greed, Arrival in the Holy Kingdom
"Starting from today, come to me every three days to pick up the red potion and drink it."
"Also, raise your arms."
Tang Zheng's eyes became serious and he spoke.
Lizardman Crusch Lulu quickly raised his arm.
Brush!
The dagger appeared in Tang Zheng's hand. He waved his wrist and a cold light flashed in the air. A wound immediately appeared on Lizardman Crusch Lulu's arm.
Blood flowed from the wound.
Tang Zheng picked up an empty potion bottle next to him and collected the blood flowing from the opponent. He did not stop until all Dragon Blood's potion bottles that Lizardman Crusch Lulu had just drank were filled.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest first." Tang Zheng's voice became much gentler.
Lizardman Crusch Lulu Due to losing a lot of blood, his body became a little weak, and his eyes Central City showed a sense of weakness.
But my thoughts became clearer and more exciting.
"If you need it, I can provide you with blood at any time." Lizardman Crusch Lulu was not afraid, but breathed a sigh of relief.
She is still useful!
As long as she is alive, she can ensure that nothing will happen to the Lizardman Clan.
Watching Lizardman Crusch Lulu leave.
Tang Zheng's eyes fell on the potion bottle containing blood. "Whether it's due to occupation or blood, the effect of 'Dragon Blood' is obviously better for Crusch Lulu."
"I have always used a single blood for research before, and I have never thought about how multiple blood ratios can be used.

Midwater Month.
February 1st.
A medium-sized ship was parked on the sea southeast of the Holy Kingdom. The sky was gray and drizzle was falling.
The sea breeze is not strong.
After all, it was only close to the inland sea area, but there were still layers of waves on the sea surface, causing the entire ship to sway on the sea surface.
A middle-aged man with ordinary clothes, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and blond hair stood on the deck, holding the boat tightly with both hands and looking towards the blurry shore.
Even though his clothes were soaked by the rain, this blond middle-aged man still had no intention of returning to the cabin to take shelter from the rain. Instead, his face was full of worry and nervousness.
Holy Kingdom is a peninsula-shaped country surrounded by sea on three sides.
There is a sea area of about 40 kilometers in length and about 200 kilometers in length in the middle. The whole country can be understood as being in the shape of a "5". It is precisely because of the existence of this sea area that the country is divided into South and Northern Holy Kingdom.
Wall Fortress is built on the right side of the "5" shape, completely separating Holy Kingdom and Abelion Hills.
If you want to enter Abelion Hills from the Holy Kingdom, there is only one formal way, which is to take Wall Fortress, and the other way is to take the border sea area.
Entering February.
It rains frequently in most countries. Because it is a peninsula-shaped country surrounded by sea on three sides, there is relatively abundant rainfall.
This time is not suitable for going to sea.
"I hope nothing happens."
The blond middle-aged man held the palm of the boat's edge and tightened it again. "Lord Baron, I hope this is not a wrong decision."
About half a month ago.
In Abelion Hills, it actually appeared that Troll went to Fortress to trade with them humans.
This is simply as incredible as the abominable Demi-Human in Abelion Hills suddenly surrendering to them humans.
This matter was suppressed by the big shots at Wall Fortress, but it still spread. The Baron also heard this rumor at a banquet, and then he came up with the idea.
"Four Gods bless you, hope everything goes well."
"This matter must not be known to other nobles, or even Her Royal Highness the Holy Queen." The blond middle-aged man had a grimace on his face and kept praying in his heart.
If this matter spreads, their Lord Baron will definitely be sent to the gallows.
At this moment, the coast in the distance.
Several humans dressed as civilians were looking at the twenty burly and strong Troll that appeared in front of them in fear and trembling.
"Demi-Human, it's Demi-Human Troll!"
A civilian man's legs were trembling, and there was even a smell of urine coming from his lower body, and he spoke with a trembling voice.
"Shut up!" The man suddenly spoke, frightening the other civilian men to tremble. Among them, the leading man, who looked relatively strong, glared at each other fiercely, for fear of accidentally angering the group of Troll in front of him.
For these people, facing these Troll, let alone escaping, I'm afraid it's not enough to squeeze them between their teeth.
"Food, the food we want." A Troll stared at the empty-handed human in front of him with scarlet eyes, and growled impatiently.
The other Troll looked over one by one, some were licking their mouths, and some were drooling.
Facing this crowd of cannibalistic looks.
The legs of several human civilians were already weak. Some wanted to escape, but found that their bodies were too frightened to take a step.
"Weak humans."
"I'm so hungry. I want to eat meat."
Seeing this group of frightened and pale humans, several Troll let out Taunt, playful laughter.
"Something's on board!"
Hearing the ridicule from the other side, the leading civilian human suddenly felt courageous in his heart, and his voice trembled involuntarily, but he still said loudly:
"We need to get things to the ship before we can give you food."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
The Trolls, who had a large number of warts on their heads, turned their heads and looked at each other, unable to decide for a moment.
"Give them something." Troll, the leader, raised his thick arm that almost touched the ground and waved.
A large piece of gold ore was carried over by Troll from behind, and was thrown in front of these humans.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Every piece of gold ore fell to the ground with a loud noise, which shook not only the ground, but also the hearts of all civilians.
"Gold?"
"Is this gold?"
Everyone who was scared just now saw the gold ore in front of them still reflecting golden light even in the gray weather, and their breathing became rapid.
This human obviously had no idea what they were dealing with.
Soon.
Calmness The people who came down struggled to carry the gold ore to the boats on the shore, and drove the boats quickly away from the shore and disappeared into the rain and fog.
Only Troll were left standing on the shore waiting.
"They're gone."
"Will you not come back?"
"I don't know."
"I'm so hungry, I want to eat meat."
Chirping discussions began, although Troll's IQ is low, it does not mean he is stupid.
Time passed little by little.
Soon, the humans who had left before returned with more boats, and the cabins were filled with various grains and meats.
After dozens of trips back and forth, all the food was thrown to the shore. One of the humans shouted "the deal is over" to a group of Troll, and then fled away in the last fishing boat.
"Take the food away." Troll, the leader, said angrily.
On the other side, all the humans returned to the ship and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After being in such close contact with the cannibal Troll, everyone was frightened, fearing that they would be eaten by the other party.
"Balgo, come here."
The blond middle-aged man looked at the slumped civilians sitting on the deck. The worried look on his face not long ago had disappeared, and he regained his aloof posture.
"Sir." The civilian man who mustered up the courage to communicate with Troll quickly got up from the ground.
This is a big shot, Butler, the baron of their territory.
"Tell me about the entire transaction process." The blond Butler said calmly. The civilian man told me the entire transaction process without reservation, and also specifically mentioned his brave performance.
His eyes were full of expectation.
He didn't expect that the noble Lord would dare to make a deal with Demi-Human, and thought of the orange-yellow gold ore.
The civilian man swallowed his saliva subconsciously.
The value of those gold ores far exceeds the value of giving those Troll crops such as wheat and some meat.
Holy Kingdom There is abundant rainfall and the terrain is flat.
All kinds of crops and food are very abundant, otherwise there would be no universal conscription system that is completely different from the empire and Kingdom.
I also worked hard to build Wall Fortress.
In terms of national strength alone, Holy Kingdom is much stronger than Li Yestije Kingdom.
"A group of Troll actually obey the rules."
"Aren't you even checked?"
After hearing this, the blond Butler's eyes flashed with regret and greed. "This time I prepared all new food and meat."
"If I had known better, I would have mixed those old grains and rotten meat into it. Those Trolls wouldn't check it anyway. For these Demi-Humans who eat everything, there should be no problem eating the rotten ones."
The blond Butler whispered to himself while raising his arm and waving.
Before the civilians on the deck could react, dozens of soldiers armed with weapons poured out from the rear cabin.
"Kill them all and throw them into the sea to feed the fish." The blond Butler waved his hand in disgust.
In an instant!
There were screams and the sound of falling into the water on the deck of the ship.
Creak, creak, creak~
Barghest pulled the carriage on the muddy road. The wheels ran over the rain-soaked ground and rotated rapidly.
The muddy water turned into denser black raindrops, flinging them towards the low shrubs on both sides of the road and the road behind it.
On the carriage.
Enri opened the curtain and looked into the distance, the majestic Wall Fortress had gradually appeared in the field of vision.
"Is this Holy Kingdom? So amazing." Enri covered his mouth and exclaimed.
In Enri's impression, "E-Rantel" is already majestic enough in the city, but it is nothing compared to Wall Fortress, which can't be seen at a glance.
"Oh, are we here?" A gentle voice sounded from the rear, Tang Zheng opened the rear partition and entered the car in front.
"My lord."
"My lord."
Enri's surprised voice and Verdant Leaf Witch's respectful voice sounded.
Tang Zheng looked at the door curtain opened by Enri, and looked at Wall Fortress who was gradually emerging from the rain and fog. "It's just a castle, it's just like this."
Shake his head.
"If you don't include the city walls and fortresses into the national border, you won't be truly strong Fortress." Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.
"Sir, have you finished your research on Alchemy?" Enri's face was filled with happiness when he saw Tang Zheng, who was always researching and rarely appeared.
"Alchemy can be researched endlessly."
Tang Zheng smiled and reached out to rub Enri's chestnut-blond hair, "Some things are never-ending, but I can take a rest recently."
"That's great."
Enri felt the warm palms and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Sir, it will be very hard if you keep working so hard."
5°
"It's better to work harder now than later."
Tang Zheng stretched out his index finger, lightly tapped Enri's forehead, and then looked at Verdant Leaf Witch next to him. "Are you used to it?"
"I have completely mastered it, my lord."
Verdant Leaf Witch immediately spoke respectfully. She understood that Tang Zheng was asking about the powerful power when she transformed into "Wise King of the Forest".
My breathing has indeed become much calmer.
Tang Zheng glanced at Verdant Leaf Witch and nodded slightly.
"Ming!"
Outside the carriage, a low roar came from Barghest, with a hint of intimacy and reminder in the voice, and then the speed of the carriage gradually began to slow down.
"Finally arrived-Holy Kingdom." Tang Zheng looked at the clear wall outside the carriage and thought to himself.
